Síol Anmchadha

Síol Anmchadha (Irish: Síl n-Anmcadha) was a sub-kingdom or lordship of Uí Maine, and ruled by an offshoot of the Uí Maine called the Síol Anmchadha ("the seed of Anmchadh"), from whom the territory took its name.

The ruling dynasty later took the surname Ó Madadháin, anglicised as Maddan or Madden.

"Eyrecourt" in the area is named after them (it was originally called Dún an Uchta) and their descendant became Baron Eyre.

The name Síol Anmchadha survives to the present day in the placename Baile Mór Síol Anmchadha, the Irish language version of Lawrencetown, County Galway.
